CWC Bulldogs fight hard early, fall hard late to Flora

It has been a crazy early season for the CWC Bulldog baseball team. Of the team’s first seven scheduled contests, four have been canceled and the total time off between games has made it difficult to get into any kind of rhythm.

Monday afternoon, Flora came to Carmi and the Bulldogs looked to rebound from a loss to Benton, which seems like an eternity ago.

It has been a crazy early season for the CWC Bulldog baseball team. Of the team’s first seven scheduled contests, four have been canceled and the total time off between games has made it difficult to get into any kind of rhythm.

Monday afternoon, Flora came to Carmi and the Bulldogs looked to rebound from a loss to Benton, which seems like an eternity ago.

CWC would play well early, but stumbled to the end of the game, losing 11-2.

The beginning looked promising, with Brodie Brown stepping to the plate to open the Bulldogs half of the first with a home run. Brown was the lone offensive player that was able to do much in the game, getting two hits and two runs with an RBI. Tyson Russell would also record an RBI.

Tyler Cushman started the game at pitcher, going four and two-third innings, allowing six runs on nine hits with two walks and three strikeouts.

Dylan Rankin, Travis Thompson and Collin Winter would also pitch in the loss.

CWC will try to get back to .500 and also try to get consecutive games played when they host Vienna on Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 p.m.
